Circus, showmanship, spectacle - these were P.T. Barnum's stock and trade. Desperate to create a better life for his family, Barnum launched into his circus venture with true American entrepreneurial spirit, against all odds, wowing audiences for decades with his troupe. Yet spectacle wasn't merely reserved for his stage - Barnum created an aura of excitement about himself for decades, not least through this thrilling account of his life and work, proving that he was indeed, the greatest impresario of all time.
